Change the Receiver’s Mode
If the PWM/PPM Mode light is red instead of green, change the receiver’s mode to PWM by
performing the following steps:
1.
Disconnect the receiver from power.
2.
Use a pen or other pointed object to press and hold the Bind/Mode button down.
3.
Power the receiver by connecting the ESC to a battery. The Bind light illuminates (green
if bound, flashing red if not) and the PWM/PPM Mode light illuminates in red.
4.
Hold the Bind/Mode button down until the PWM/PPM Mode light is green.
Mount the Receiver in a Model and Secure its Antennas
1.
Connect the servo and ESC leads to the corresponding ports on the receiver.
2.
Position the receiver in the model trying to avoid the antennas being blocked by the
battery, ESC, or other components. As you decide where to place the receiver in the
model, you should also consider antenna positioning as described in step 4.
3.
Use double-sided tape or hot glue to mount the receiver in the model.
4.
Use tape to position and secure the antennas so they are 90 degrees from each other. For
example, position one of the antennas so it is parallel to the model’s centerline axis and
the other so it points up, down, left, or right. Placing the antennas at 90 degrees to each
other maximizes signal strength and minimizes the chances of interference.
